Looks like I'm out sorry Minimad. I was going to navigate, but not happening now, and not got a co-pilot if I take my Z. Have fun!!

Catherine will navigate for you if you like.

it would be a shame for you to miss the run.

Thank you anyway, already made other plans now. Have fun!!!

That wouldn't be fair anyway, because the two of you go out and set the trial.

How did it go?? Lots of fun? Were you at your most evil Minimad?

It was a great day. 9 cars took up the challenge under sunny skies. Fuel usage ranged from 10 km/ltr to 22 km/ltr.

Starting from the BP service centre the route went up Ponga Road, Jones Road, Twilight Road into Whitford, then through the gorge and up Point View Drive into East Tamaki where they travelled up Ormiston Road onto Redought Road, around Ardmore, back to Drury then worked there way over a couple more hills to our place in Waiau Pa.

Or was it the reverse of that?

Oh thats right, there were two routes that were mirror image of each other.

In addition, there were the oddball questions that you would expect and you have an afternoon of fun!!!

As for evil, NO!!!!! NEVER!!!! NOT ME!!!!!!

Haha, love the different fuel usage.

Nice choice of roads there.

And no, we wouldn't anything less.
